superpacker Report post Posted April 13, 2019 Interested in making a belt from cotton webbing or wool webbing (surcingle). The one thing I can’t figure out is how to taper the webbing at the tongue end and buckle end where it meets the leather (see pictures below). Any idea how this is done? As you can see, there is an ever so slight taper, but I’m not certain if the webbing is trimmed or how else this could be done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably just cut a "V" into the webbing, then glued the cut edges together to create the taper. At least, that's what I would do.
